A powerful, emotional verse novel from an outstanding debut author, celebrating family bonds, unlikely friendships and being gloriously yourself.

Ten-year-old Pear is struggling to cope: with her grandma's Alzheimer's, with a new school and with cruel classmates' jibes. Enter Piglet - a scruffy rescue dog, who helps Pear rebuild her sense of self. She remembers what matters most, through music, friendship and the armour of unconditional love.

Perfect for fans of Matt Goodfellow, Sharon Creech and Nadine Aisha Jassat.
